General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 329

Beto’s campaign says over 6,000 people at his kick off rally today.

Comparison to other kickoff rally’s (these are the only numbers I could find)
Harris: 20,000+ (Oakland)
Bernie: 13,000 (Brooklyn)
Warren: 3,500 (Lawrence)
Castro: 1,500 (San Antonio)
Gillibrand: 500 (Manhattan)
———
Klobuchar: estimated in the “thousands” (Minneapolis)
Gabbard: a few hundred (Honolulu)

 

Honestly, there's a solid chance this is true and I think about it a lot. No Comey letter a week before the election and we probably have President Clinton right now.

 

This is gonna be Al franken all over again isn’t it

“The President has done so much worse so why should we care if a politician we love is accused of sexual misconduct?”

That rotten part of the party needs to stop

 

Wonder how I can make the migrant crisis worse....wait, I got it!

 

The replies to Matt’s first tweet are wild.

It’s crazy how many pissed off HRC partisans there are out there.

I have two of them in my social orbit and it’s odd trying to have a discussion with them.

 

If only there were a badass candidate who had the experience of Biden but was much, much smarter and with infinitely better policies..........

 

I’ve got one in mine, only in my social media orbit, and the stuff she likes on twitter pops up on and it’s just so much face palming

 

If Trevor Noah has done nothing else at least he's been very good at making fun of hickenlooper

 

I’m team don’t give to the dccc directly personally. Long felt this way. Candidates >>

 

Always love a good Twitter dunk on Matty

 

If Biden doesn’t run, my theory for final three candidates standing:

Bernie
Harris
Beto

 

Run for senate coward

 

Damn calling out @popdisaster00 hard there
